I use Remote Desktop a lot to get to various Windows machines and every now and then, Copy and Paste is not working, even though in the options, I enabled access to the Clipboard.
Thanks to this blogpost of Emmanuel Carabott, I finally found a fix. Well, a work-around, but that’s good enough. Thanks Emmanuel.

Enable jQuery UI actions on touch devices
I recently bought an iPad. I’ve been refusing to do so, for a variety of reasons, but the new iPad was too good to continue to ignore. And I’m loving it.
One issue I discovered, however, was that some of my websites did not function properly. I’m using jQuery UI on some pages, but that user interface library does not support the use of touch events.
Luckily, a simple hack brought relief. Nice work guys!
Unable to enable Wireless Adapter in Windows 7? blame Kaspersky
I recently encountered a pretty frustrating problem: on a laptop with Windows 7 installed, I could not enable the Wireless Adapter.
It was pretty weird: in Device Manager, everything looked good: the device was “working properly”. Yet I did not see any wireless networks. In Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections, I noticed that the Wireless Adapter was disabled. I could right-click on it and select ‘Enable’, but that did not change the status: the Adapter stayed disabled.
Network Diagnostics reported there was an “unknown” problem with it. Not very helpful. I googled for hours, tried all kinds of things (disable/uninstall-reinstall/tried older versions of the driver/…) until finally I found this post which gave me a hint: apparently, Kaspersky anti-virus was the culprit! The Kaspersky NDIS filter caused the issue.
Process to solve it:
- Right-click the Wireless Adapter in Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections, select Properties
- UNcheck Kaspersky Anti-Virus NDIS filter
- Select the Wireless Adapter, click Diagnose this device – to reset the adapter
Et voila, I (finally) had a working wireless connection again.
